The existing installed base of nearly 60 supported smartphone models provides an immediate user pool for the BeiDou messaging service and lays groundwork for broader integration into future handsets.
Xichang Satellite Launch Center is mainly used for launches to geostationary transfer orbit and could host as many as 17 launches in 2018, mostly of Beidou navigation and positioning satellites.
A Long March 3A rocket lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre at 20:58 UTC on 2018-07-09 carrying a backup second-generation Beidou navigation and positioning satellite.
The Beidou satellite launched on 2018-07-09 was designated IGSO-7 and will replace a soon-to-be-retired satellite in inclined geosynchronous orbit.
CASC’s 2018 launches included the Chang’e-4 lunar far side landing mission, the first Hongyan LEO communications satellite, and 18 Beidou satellites.
The orbits of Beidou’s three inclined GEO satellites are designed to form two figure-eight loops to provide optimized coverage to China and neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific.
A Long March 3B launched two Beidou navigation and positioning satellites into medium Earth orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on 2019-09-22.
Both upcoming Beidou missions will launch single satellites to geosynchronous transfer orbit using enhanced hypergolic Long March 3B rockets.
China launched a space debris mitigation satellite and towed a defunct Beidou navigation satellite from geostationary orbit into a higher graveyard orbit.
China’s Shijian-21 space debris mitigation satellite grabbed a defunct Beidou navigation satellite and moved it about 3,0 m to the graveyard orbit above the geostationary belt.
Chinese satellite Shijian-21 docked with a defunct Beidou spacecraft and tugged it to a graveyard orbit 300 km above geostationary Earth orbit.
The third edition of 'An Introduction to GNSS' includes updates to various GNSS constellations including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo.
A Long March 3B rocket launched the 56th satellite for China’s Beidou navigation and positioning system from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 10:49 p.m. Eastern on 2023-05-16.
Flex Mini supports multiple satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
The mosaic-X5 receiver is compatible with GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, and NavIC constellations.
Pyxis receives signals from all four worldwide GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
Pyxis receives signals from all four global GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou.
Beidou consists of 36 active satellites located mostly in medium Earth orbit with additional satellites in geostationary Earth orbit and inclined geosynchronous orbit.
Shijian-21 demonstrated satellite-refueling capabilities in late 2021 and early 2022 by docking with a defunct Beidou GNSS satellite in GEO and delivering it to a higher graveyard orbit.
Pyxis receives signals from all four global GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou.
